Then subscribe to Market Leader, a genuinely thoughtful magazine which informs and challenges ideas about marketing and branding. Learn more Market Leader Winter 2007, Issue 39 www.warc.com Somewhere West of Laramie Jeremy Bullmore I've never forgotten the trailer for Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho. If you've never seen it, go to www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzAnE4zuYuA. Why don't they make trailers like that any more? All modern trailers seem to come out of a computerised trailer-maker that's been programmed not by a human being but by the last 1000 trailers to emerge from that very same trailer-maker. They use sound to indicate not the distinctive characteristic of any film but to bludgeon the senses as if in a disco. They use special effects indiscriminately. The pace of the editing is frenetic, irrespective of the pace of the film itself. Lines of dialogue are selected not to hint at the storyline – the film's premise, its narrative hook – but for their ability to shock. Sometimes the nature of that shock is totally out of sympathy with the mood of the movie. These trailers could be for any one of 50 quite different feature films. The Psycho trailer could be for no film other than Psycho. Hitchcock himself takes us on a guided tour of the scene of the crimes. At one point he opens a cupboard, the door swinging towards the camera so that we can't see inside. He looks in: then closes it again with just a flick of an expression in our direction.

Back in the day it was saying "Bloody Mary" into a mirror at slumber parties. Today, it means viral social media information stunts. Though adults get caught up, too, kids are especially susceptible to peer pressure and FOMO (fear of missing out). To them, what was once a double-dog dare is now a popular YouTuber eating a hot pepper just to see what happens. sharing Called "challenges," these stunts range from harmless to horrifying: There are the silly ones (such as the Mannequin Challenge); the helpful ones (like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge); and the slightly risky ones (such as In This Issue the Make Your Own Slime Challenge). But sometimes, challenges are downright dangerous, resulting in physical injury -- and possibly even death. So what's a parent to do? The Viral Internet Stunts Parents Should Below are some of the hottest challenges that have swept social media; some fade and then make a comeback. In Know most cases, kids are watching these challenges on YouTube purely for entertainment, but some challenges inspire Next Monthly kids to try them out themselves. (In fact, the safe ones can be fun for families to try.) Others -- like the Backpack Webinar - September Challenge -- are often done with the goal of filming other kids and broadcasting the results online.

  • Scalable Bundling Via Dense Product Embeddings
    Scalable bundling via dense product embeddings Madhav Kumar,* Dean Eckles, Sinan Aral Massachusetts Institute of Technology September 26, 2021 Abstract Bundling, the practice of jointly selling two or more products at a discount, is a widely used strategy in industry and a well-examined concept in academia. Scholars have largely focused on theoretical studies in the context of monopolistic firms and assumed product relationships (e.g., complementarity in usage). There is, however, little empirical guidance on how to actually create bundles, especially at the scale of thousands of products. We use a machine-learning-driven ap- proach for designing bundles in a large-scale, cross-category retail setting. We leverage historical purchases and consideration sets determined from clickstream data to generate dense represen- tations (embeddings) of products. We put minimal structure on these embeddings and develop heuristics for complementarity and substitutability among products. Subsequently, we use the heuristics to create multiple bundles for each of 4,500 focal products and test their performance using a field experiment with a large retailer. We use the experimental data to optimize the bun- dle design policy with offline policy learning. Our optimized policy is robust across product categories, generalizes well to the retailer’s entire assortment, and provides expected improve- ment of 35% (∼$5 per 100 visits) in revenue from bundles over a baseline policy using product co-purchase rates. *Corresponding author: [email protected] 1 1 Introduction Bundling is a widespread product and promotion strategy used in a variety of industries such as fast food (meal + drinks), telecommunications (voice + data plan), cable (TV + broadband), and insurance (car + home insurance).
